How Did It All Happen

The (After) Life Of A Party

Danielle's POV

I wake up to the room slightly spinning. "Oh my god." I mutter and look around. I am in the living room and the first person I see is Patrick. "Hey." I say quietly as I get up and join him in the kitchen. "Good morning, you're alive." he chuckles and starts making coffee. "Wait, you expected me to die? Where are the others?" "Frank, Mikey, Austin and Joe are asleep somewhere and uh Pete, Ray and Gerard went out to buy some stuff to eat. Want coffee?" he asks. I nod and he pours some coffee into two mugs. "What even happened last night?" I ask. "Well, I'll just retell some highlights of the night. You lost your money, the party turned into a karaoke night, so later on we ran out of drinks and everyone insisted on going shopping so I stayed here with Mikey and you." "Anything more?" I ask and take a sip of my coffee. "Oh yes, Im not finished yet. When everyone left you got sad and asked me where did the party go. Oh and your friend called," he says and smiles. "Don't worry about it, I told her that you'll call back today. You weren't in the phone conversation mode yesterday." "Okay, thanks. Will they be back soon?" "Knowing Pete the answer is no. You know, pizza for breakfast." he says and puts his mug away. "Yeah, it's to die for. But wait, weren't you the one who always slept till noon?" I ask as I get up and walk into the living room. "Usually yes but not today I guess. Wanna watch some TV until the others come back?" He says and walks behind me. "Sure but I'll make a call first if it's okay." I say as I sit down on the couch with him. "Yeah, yeah. Go ahead." he says and turns the TV on. I get my phone and dial Anna's number. "Hey party animal." she laughs as soon as she picks up. "Hey, you called?" "Well yeah. I wanted to ask what's up and stuff. How are you?" "I'm pretty good I guess. You?" I ask and walk into the kitchen. "I'm good. Are you home? I emailed you and you should see that as soon as possible." she says. "I'm at Frank's but I'll make sure to check it as soon as Im home. Is it okay with you?" "Yeah, call me when you've read it. Bye." "OK, bye." I say and hang up. I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch. "So, uh, you need to go home?" Patrick asks. "Not any time soon I guess. Well I need to if Brendon needs me home. I'll text him." When I open my messages I see that I already have a message from him. Well three messages.

B: 'Hey are you up yet?'

That was sent two hours ago so I read the other ones.

'Please call me so I'll know that you're still alive.'

'Better yet text me back.'

Me: 'Hey Bren, I'm okay, yeah. Good morning I guess.'

He replies after five minutes.

B: 'Alright, good morning to you too, wanna come home yet? We have places to go & people to meet'

Me: 'do I reaaaaallllllyyy need to come home yet? Pete is still bringing pizza. Can I stay for a bit longer?'

B: 'fine if I can crash over and eat pizza with you'

Me: 'thanks, you're the best bro! I'm sure that Frankie would be okay with that'

B: 'okay, I'll be over in a few'

I lock my phone and look at the TV. "So, you gotta go home?" Patrick asks. I shake my head no and smile slightly. "I can stay, Brendon's coming over too, I hope that you wouldn't mind." "I haven't met him before but I can guess that he's nice. And, uh yeah, sure, I have nothing against new people." He smiles. "Ooh my... GOD!" someone groans from the hallway. I turn around and see Frank who looks like he'd been going trough hell. "Hey Frank?" I say. He just nods and crashes on the couch, landing on me. "Ow, Frankie that's not a nice thing to do!" I groan. I look at Patrick who has a hint of jealousy in his eyes. Nope, I must be dreaming it. Whatever. "Frank, get off me, please." I mumble. "Nooo, you're so soft and comfortable." He whines. "Frank Iero!" "Danielle Urie!" He mocks. "Frank, stop molesting my baby sister, please." I hear Brendon say. "Thank god, Brendon, save me, please!" I mumble and try to push Frank away. "That's enough, Frank." Brendon says with a laugh as he lifts Frank off. "Thank you SO much, Brenny." I say and hug him. "No problem, so where's the pizza you talked about?" "Pizza?" Frank asks. "You were asleep, shut up and listen," I say and turn towards Frank. "Pete, Ray and Gee are bringing pizza for breakfast, well lunch. They should be back a-" "Guys, we got Pizza!" Pete says a bit too loudly. "So pizza it is." Brendon says and smiles. "You bet, Urie!" Pete laughs as we all walk towards the kitchen. "I'll go wake the others." Gerard says and leaves the room. "Dani, you owe me ten bucks!" Joe laughs as he sees me. "Whatever, curly." I say as I search my pockets for some money. "Here you go, who was behind the name?" "I kinda told you that it was Frank." He smiles. "What did I do?" Frank yells from the kitchen. "Nothing, nothing." I say and laugh quietly. "Come on, let's go." I say as I walk back into the kitchen. "Yo, it's a pop-punk pizza party!"
